Greetings from Your Directors

by Fred and Linda Fisher

Senior Chapter Directors

Wing Ding 36 is now history and Wing Ding 37 is

in Huntsville Alabama in September 2015. Linda

and I have been asked to attend so we can present

the IChOY banner to the 2014 winners.

Speaking of the banner, we would like to put togeth-

er a scrap book of Chapter L events and have a group photo taken at the events with the ban-

ner. We took a photo on the top of Berthoud Pass on the Picnic Ride, and several photos at the

Camping Weekend. It should be fun to keep a photo record of the years events.

After Wing Ding, things didn’t slow down much. Since many members were still traveling

after Wing Ding, we had a fairly small group at the July gathering. The following weekend,

things got busy. The Chapter G Howl at the Moon Ride, Chapter L’s Picnic Ride, Dinner Ride,

and a Camping Weekend; all in 8 days.

Add in Chapter J’s Hummer of a Summer, Chapter I’s Birthday Picnic, and a Chapter L Trail

Ridge ride before the next gathering on August 4th.

Next month we continue to stay busy. Our monthly gathering, a dinner ride, a ride through

Poudre Canyon, the District Convention, and a weekend at Fort Robinson; all by Labor Day.

…. Whew!! I’m tired. That’s okay, keeps us young.

A reminder that I am hosting a Chapter L ride to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta October 3-5.

I still have rooms available but I have had inquiries about the rooms from other chapters. If we

don’t use them, I might offer them to a few others. If you are going and camping, please let me

know so I can keep a head count.

At the District Rally, Chapter L is tasked with selling 50/50 ticket on Friday and Saturday. At

the next gathering we will be asking for volunteers to help out. I certainly hope many of you

will be attending. After all, no better place to show off our new shirts.

Don’t forget to mark you calendar for the Multi Chapter Christmas Party that has had a date

change to December 20th.

With that, I’ll close for this month. Looking forward to seeing you at the August 4th gathering,

if not before.

Until Then, Ride Safe….. Always

2013 International Chapter of the Year

July Picnic Ride

by Bob King

Assistant Chapter Director

It has been another busy month for the In-

ternational Chapter of the Year. A lot of

members went to Wing Ding to receive the

official notification of our International Chapter of the Year. It was nice to see

that Chapter L had a good time at the event. A lot of you were on the road for

several days and a lot of ground was covered. I am glad to see that everyone

made it back safe.

I sponsored the picnic ride this month, the turnout was a lot better than I ex-

pected since everyone on the road for

several days. I had seven bikes and ten members for a five hour ride

through Granby, Kremmling and Silverthorne. We started the ride mid

morning to avoid the afternoon rains. The weather was perfect for riding. I

couldn’t have asked for a better riding day. We made our first stop at the

Berthoud Summit to take a picture with the GWRRA International Chapter

of the Year flag.

The view from the Summit was

spectacular. The sky was clear and

you could see for miles. After a

small break we saddled up and headed for the picnic area outside of Granby.

There we ate our lunch, watched birds and enjoyed conversation.

After we ate our fill we went through Kremmling on our way to Sil-

verthorne. The traffic was light and the scenery was again spectacular.

As soon as we merged onto I-70 to head back towards Morrison for ice cream, we met up with the Sunday traffic.

It took us about two hours to get from Dillon to Morrison. We were moving slowly enough that we started looking

at license plates and we noticed about half of the nation was on the road with us, we also got a lot of slow speed

drivers training. When we made it to Dumont and we got off on the Frontage road to try and beat the traffic and

move along a little faster we got caught up in a peddle bike

event. The detour was a nice ride and we had police along the

route so we didn’t have to stop at all the signs. As we made it

to Idaho Springs, we had to get back on the Highway and we

ended up with the same cars that we left in Dumont.

Soon we ended up at our final destination ice cream in Mor-

rison. It took over six hours to make it but it was worth every

lick.

On the Road Training

by Sherry D. Smith

Motorists Awareness Coordinator, Chapter L

With Wing Ding behind us and the District

Rally before us, it tells me that summer is in

full swing. Andy and I had the opportunity to

talk to a new couple recently about motorist awareness. They were getting ready

to take a two month road trip, and had a lot of questions about the MAD program

that I was only too happy to answer. After presenting the MAD seminar to our

newbies, and discussing the Levels program, it felt great knowing that the

knowledge they gained will make them better riders.

Hope to see you in Breckenridge

Got Gas?

Gasoline Can Be Trouble — Depending on When You Buy It.

by Andrew C. Smith

Chapter Educator, CO-L

Since the bikes we ride are truly made for the open road, we get to sample many different

kinds of fuel when we stop to fill up. Sometimes it just happens to be, the only gas stop

before we have to start walking.

There are gas stations everywhere and you may happen to prefer a particular brand. You

have always had good and consistent performance from their gasoline and always use the

same grade.

Fortunately, there is a station just ahead sporting their logo.

Is that all you have to know?

Usually. However, if you fill your tank at this particular station, now, are you asking for trouble in the form of bad per-

formance and even repair bills soon?

But you have purchased gasoline from this particular station many times in the past, and will no doubt continue to do so.

Does that change anything?

No. If you purchase gasoline from this station now you are asking for trou-

ble.

You see, there is not a lot of room in the station just now as there is a tank-

er truck taking up a lot of space - or you just saw one leaving.

Space is a problem?

No. But as you know, underground there are a set of huge tanks containing

gasoline. And Water. And silt. And other 'stuff'.

The name brand station across the street has the same kind of underground

tanks, and it would be FAR BETTER to buy your gasoline there just now.

Because they have the same kind of tanks?

Nope.

Because they don't have water and silt and other 'stuff' in those tanks?

No. Because a tanker truck is not sitting on the lot, or having just left.

Huh?????

Most of the time the extraneous water and silt and 'stuff' in those tanks is safely settled to the bottom of those under-

ground tanks. When you pump gasoline from them you are not getting virtually any of it into the tank on your motorcycle

(or car.) And, despite the fact that your motorcycle has fuel filters and screens built into them, this is very good because

you would rather not have your engine stall because of a clogged fuel line, or get poor performance because of trying to

burn water.

But when those tankers add their loads to those underground tanks they do a marvelous job of stirring and mixing up

those tanks. It could take an hour or so for the adulterants to settle back to the bottom.

If you see a tanker in the lot, or one is just pulling out, go to another station for your gasoline.

But you guys are real smart, and already knew this!

Camping – Mature Style

WOW is the first word that comes to mind when I think back to the camp-

ing weekend attended by nine hardy Chapter L members July 18-20.

Swimming, miniature golf (Fred is obviously ready for the Champions

Tour - for golfers 50 years of age and older), Hillbilly Golf, train rides,

food hot off the grill, award winning chili, deluxe camping cabins, gor-

geous RV’s, and evening campfires – how did Mike make the flames turn

color like that???

The Fort Collins/Lakeside KOA Campground is located at 6670 North US Highway 287 in Laporte, CO. It is

isolated yet extremely close to downtown Fort Collins. The grocery store in Laporte was only about 7 minutes

away and came in very handy when two of us realized that we had a brand new propane gas grill on our cabin

‘patio’ and no ground buffalo meat in our cooler! We also learned a few new words over the weekend, such as

Speedoed. However, our mantra for the weekend quickly became, ‘What happens at the KOA - stays at the KOA,’

which is probably a good thing since this article would otherwise proceed directly to the dumper – especially if I

went into detail about the new additions to our vocabularies!

Impromptu Trip!

Upon leaving the KOA shortly before 11:00 a.m.

(check-out time), six of us headed for an im-

promptu tour of the New Belgium Brewery (NBB)

in Fort Collins. After taking the requisite picture

with our GWRRA Chapter of the Year Banner in

front of the NBB sign, we signed up for the first

(11:30) tour of the day, a 90 minute jaunt into the bowels of this incredible facility. By the way, I am proud to

say that every one of us on the tour enjoyed it immensely. I could go on and on about this tour but suffice to say

that our vocabularies were enhanced, once again (anaerobic, Balling degrees, bung, diacetyl, ester, mead, publi-

can, squares, and wort), this time in beer and brewing terminology.

The most interesting factoid of the tour? “Every 3 months, Americans discard enough aluminum to completely

rebuild every commercial airplane in the U.S.” The most amazing statistic of this 90 minute tour? “The NBB

produces 720 bottles of beer per minute, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” Do the math!!!

Punsmanship

As a lover of good punsmanship, I offer you the following to activate your brain cells and recharge your grin muscles:.

"Lexophile" is a word used to describe those who enjoy a play on words, such as "you can tune a piano, but you can't

tuna fish” or "to write with a broken pencil is pointless." Here are some of the best lines for lexophiles.

When fish are in schools, they sometimes take debate.

A thief who stole a calendar got twelve months.

When the smog lifts in Los Angeles, U.C.L.A.

Batteries were given out free of charge.

A dentist and a manicurist married. They fought tooth and nail.

A will is a dead giveaway.

With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress.

A boiled egg is hard to beat.

When you've seen one shopping Center you've seen a mall.

Police were called to a day-care center where a three-year-old was resisting a rest.

Did you hear about the fellow whose whole left side was cut off? He's all right now.

A bicycle can't stand alone; it is two tired.

When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds.

The guy who fell onto an upholstery machine is now fully recovered.

When she saw her first strands of grey hair she thought she'd dye.

Those who get too big for their pants will be exposed in the end.

Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!!!

Gold Wing Road Riders Associations – A Golden Tool

By Mike and Rhonda Hottinger

Membership Enhancement Coordinators

How many people actually look at the Gold

Book we get mailed to us from Headquarters

every year? It is a great tool and you should

take a chance to look through it and understand

what kind of tool it really is. To help with this I

am going to break it down for all of us by the

numbers.

Top 10 reasons to carry the Gold Book on your Gold Wing.

10. GWRRA group riding hand signals in photos.

9. What to do in case of an accident.

8. A listing of all of the Wing Ding 35 (Madison, WI) vendors, along with their

locations and phone numbers. I know, I know, a little late for this infor-

mation but at least you will know what to expect in the 2015 Gold Book,

Wing Ding 36 Huntsville, AL vendors.

7. A GWRRA “transfer of membership” certificate. This transfers the balance

of your GWRRA membership to the buyer of your motorcycle, thereby in-

creasing the value of your motorcycle to the buyer.

6. Two GWRRA membership applications, including Rescue Plus options. Check out the Rescue Plus options and

if you did not opt for the additional coverage, I cannot speak highly enough about the value of the Rescue Plus

option. Take a moment and write your name and membership number on the applications so they are ready for

you to give it to an applicant.

5. Motorcycle travel planning features – state motorcycle helmet laws, the correct tire sizes and tire pressures for

the Gold Wing and Valkyrie, how to tie down a Gold Wing for transport, and how to upright a fallen Gold

Wing by yourself.

4. A listing of all of the benefits of belonging to GWRRA.

3. A listing of all the Honda dealers in the United States and Canada, including the “Golden” dealers (dealers,

shops and companies who have received praise for exceptional service.)

2. A listing of all of the chapters of GWRRA along with their locations.

And the #1 reason we should all keep the GWRRA Gold Book close....

A listing of all of the GWRRA members in the world (except those who have opted out of the listing), along with

their phone numbers and their capacity/willingness to render assistance to a GWRRA member in distress.

Rhonda and I hope you take a look at this valuable tool and keep it close by because you never know what

you will need and when you might need it. Keep the rubber on the road and wind in your face.

Camping Weekend By Mike Ackerman

The 2014 version of the Chapter L camping weekend is over in the history

books. And mind you, there were some historical events that took place.

Nine hearty Chapter L

members braved the after-

noon rains and the scorch-

ing heat to have a great time. Several of the early arrivers

managed to get in a little ‘pool time’ before dinner and the

arrival of the other campers.

After everyone’s arrival Friday night we gathered around the

camp file to watch ‘Grandpa Mike’ make his world famous

colorful flames. Well, perhaps just in his mind and the minds

of his grandchildren it is world famous.

Keeping an age old

tradition alive, several of us enjoyed making and eating s’mores. Just

what would camping be without s’mores!

Saturday was another beautiful Colorado summer day. After our hearty

camping breakfasts, did you ever notice how much more you eat when

you are camping, we all gathered for the miniature golf tournament. I’m

not sure, but I suspect we had a couple of sandbaggers in the game as they

said they didn’t really like miniature golf but managed to do very well.

What some people won’t do just go a prize at the end of the game.

Once again, it is off to the swimming pool to cool down as the tempera-

ture is already over 90. It is just amazing what some people can do with a swimming pool noodle… eh Judy!

While everyone else sat under the shade trees with some cool refreshments, Ralph and Janet enjoyed a round of

Hillbilly golf. That would be known as Ladder Golf to you city folks.

Too hot to much of anything……so back to the pool. It is just too difficult for me to try and relate how everyone

felt when we were all minding our own business and enjoying the pool when out of the blue, we get SPEEDOED !

It could take my mind years to get that image out of my head. No, I won’t reveal who did it…..but I’m sure it will

be disclosed at some time.

Saturday night and another campfire and those great colorful

flames. No s’mores tonight. Everyone was to exhausted from the

busy day.

If you didn’t make it this year to the camp out, you really should

put on your radar for next year. It is a lot fun and a good time to

just sit around and solve most of the world’s problems.

2013 International Chapter of the Year 3 Days Crossing Kansas

By Carl Williams

Newsletter Editor

“Where is the tunnel under Kansas?” could be heard in the headset. After spending hour after hour on a Goldwing

listing 30 degrees into the constant blowing wind, I swore that the next trip through Kansas would be when they

build a tunnel under it! That was before our return trip from Wing Ding this year.

How did it take us three days to cross Kansas you ask? Now that we tow the Spyder with the motorhome, our tour-

ing style has changed dramatically. Whether it is traveling on back roads or the Interstate concrete ribbon, there is a

remarkable amount of “Americana” waiting for you to discover. Judy found a new app called TripAdvisor which

provides a wealth of data on local attractions that highlights everything from the famous attractions to the off-beat

ones. What follows is a sampling of “3 Days Crossing Kansas”.

The Eisenhower Presidential Museum located in Abilene, KS in situated on a campus like setting featuring The

Dwight D. Eisenhower Museum, Presidential Library and his boy-

hood home. If you are a history buff of WWII, the museum con-

tains just about everything you ever wanted to know about world

events surrounding the WWII time period. Eisenhower’s modest

boyhood home highlights his family’s relatively poor background.

While we were there about 45+ military guys assembled in the

parking lot with variety of motorcycles, mostly Harleys for a group

ride. I am sure that the 6,844 population of Abilene took the next

two days to recover from the noise.

The Wizard of OZ Museum located in Wamego, KS has been one

of those places that has been part of a standing family joke for

years. “Someday, we are going to stop!” could be heard every

time we have seen the billboards for the museum. In spite of the

reviews ( 50% bad, 50% great with nothing in between) found

using TripAdvisor, we stopped. The word hokey has a whole new

meaning for me. One reviewer hit the nail on the head with “Most

of the stuff could be purchased at….”. However, the museum

houses probably the world’s largest collection of Wizard of Oz

stuff with also probably 5 or 6 original items. Consider this muse-

um crossed off my “Bucket List”.

Continued on page 10

August 2014 Page 10

2013 International Chapter of the Year 3 Days Across Kansas, continued from page 9

The Garden of Eden and Cabin Home located in Lucas, KS is truly “Americana” at its best. S. P. Dinsmoor, a re-

tired schoolteacher, Civil War Vet, farmer

and Populist politician began building the

Garden of Eden and Cabin in 1907 at the

age of 64. After completing the 11 room

“log cabin” built from limestone that he

quarried and cut the stone as you would

wooden logs, he proceeded to fashion 113

tons of cement into 150 political and reli-

gious statuaries that fill the home’s yard.

Dinsmoor built a 40 ft tall limestone log

mausoleum for himself and his first wife.

At age 81, he married for a second time to

a 20-year old and had two child with her! The site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Interesting-

ly, the tour guide we had was a descend of Dinsmoor so we were treated with many inside stories that made the

Garden of Eden come alive.

While not located in Kansas, probably the most impressive site

was the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Spring-

field IL . Built in 2005, it employs all the high tech features

that a state-of-the-art Disney production uses. The highlight

was an exhibit called the “Ghost of the Library” that utilized

holographic technics that made you feel that you were actually

in the stories.

Typically, we stayed at KOA camp grounds near the above sites and rode the Spyder to the attractions. Without the

pressing need to return home, we were able to enjoy many places that just caught our imagination as we traveled

home. Americana is every where and yours to enjoy!

Wisconsin Cranberries

by Becky Ackerman

Ride Coordinator

On our recent trip to Madison for Wing Ding, we stumbled upon

the Wisconsin Discovery Cranberry Center in Warrens, Wiscon-

sin. After passing miles and miles of sunken fields that ap-

peared to be grass covered, we learned they really were covered

with the tiny cranberry plant, which is a perennial and actually

resembles a groundcover. We also learned that Ocean Spray is owned by the Wisconsin

Cranberry Growers Association. Wow! And that only 10% of the cranberries Wisconsin

produces is actually sold as is. The other 90% is processed in to dried fruit, juices, etc.

Wisconsin just happens to produce more cranberries than any other state in the U.S. In fact, it is their official state

fruit. It is also the state’s number one fruit crop, both in acres planted and in the industry’s valuable contribution to

the state’s economy.

The cranberry, once called “crane berry” by settlers because of the blossom’s resemblance to the sandhill crane, is

best known for its place on the Thanksgiving table. But, the fruit has become a year-round favorite and is making its

way into everything from summer salads and jams, to trail mix and cookies.

Did you know?

Cranberries were first harvested in Wisconsin around 1860 by Edward Sacket in Berlin, Wis.

Wisconsin cranberry growers annually harvest enough cranberries to supply every man, woman and child in the

world with 26 cranberries.

Cranberries are now grown in 20 counties throughout central and north-

ern Wisconsin.

And, you probably thought cranberries are grown in water. Actually,

cranberries grow on low-trailing vines in sandy or peat marshes, but in

Wisconsin, cranberry marshes are flooded with water to aid in harvest-

ing. Because the tart tiny berries contain a pocket of air, when the marsh

is flooded, the berries float to the surface to be picked up by harvesting

equipment.

The water

level remains

12 -14” deep

over the

plants throughout the winter to protect them from the

elements. In fall, before the harvest and the fields

are flooded, they may be periodically sprayed with

water to protect them overnight from frost.

The Travels of Larry T. Lion

Translated by Linda Fisher

Senior Chapter Director

On June 28th Fred and Linda threw me in my travelling bag and then in the car and off we

went. We traveled through 4 or 5 states on our way to the BIG SHOW in Madison, Wi.

Once we arrived and set-up home base at the Comfort Inn and Suites we started to learn the

lay of the land. We checked in on the rest of the Chapter L people. Making sure everyone

arrived safely and without major problems.

After registering and finding out what was happening we went to root on our two newest

members of the International family. Barb and Jon Pons were without a doubt the Best of

Show.

On July 2, 2014 Chapter L was officially and for all times name “The International Chapter

of the Year 2013”. Wear this honor proudly for it was hard fought.

We headed home and the finally Monday the kind loving people from Chapter I came and stuffed me back in the bag

and ran South with me. August 2nd I will be waiting for my family to come and take me home.

Thank all of you in Chapter L for the love and

care I receive.

Sincerely,

Larry T. Lion,
